KA-5L Original Plastic BeaterBlade is compatible with most KitchenAid 5 Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers
Get the right size BeaterBlade to work with your Stand Mixer!
The KA-5L Plastic BeaterBlade works with KitchenAid Bowl-Lift stand mixers with most:
- 5 Quart stainless steel bowl
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH:
- 5 Quart Glass Bowls
- Professional 5-Plus stand mixer
- 5 Quart Tilt-Head mixer
KA-5L Original Plastic BeaterBlade
Made in the USA since 2008 for use with most KitchenAid 5 Qt. Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers
The BeaterBlade is designed to scrape the sides of your mixing bowl, which means it has to touch the sides of the bowl and might make some noise!
The Original BeaterBlade frame is made from high impact plastic. It's flexible plastic blades press against the bowl to scrape batter and mix in a downward motion but they flex enough so the blade rotates freely.
BUY THE RIGHT SIZE...see details for which mixers it will and will NOT work with.
Tips & tricks for a successful fit & mixing:
- Secure bowl on stand mixer and attach the BeaterBlade; lift bowl into locked position
- Be patient when putting the BeaterBlade on your mixer, it might be a snug fit in the bowl
- Never operate BeaterBlade in an empty bowl, it could damage the blade. For a smooth start, wipe a small amount of butter along the plastic blades
- The BeaterBlade might make some noise & cause mixer bowl to move a little; it is, after all, pressing against the bowl edges to scrape & mix the batter
- To fine tune the blade-to-bowl contact, so blade turns freely (with ingredients in the bowl!), use the mixer height adjustment: turn clockwise to lower the bowl or counterclockwise to raise the bowl
- Use BeaterBlade as a hand-held spatula to scrape batter out of the bowl and into the pan
Efficient and Thorough Mixing without Scraping the Bowl
The Original BeaterBlade cuts mixing times by up to 50%, giving you more time to create other things…like frosting. Cake batters come out silky smooth, cookie doughs are thoroughly blended and anything else you can dream up will be mixed better than using the flat beater. Go ahead…mix something delicious.
By continuously scraping the sides of the mixing bowl, the Original BeaterBlade virtually eliminates batter build-up and the need to hand-scrape the mixing bowl. It directs ingredients into the center of the bowl and incorporates ingredients 100% for perfect consistency every time. When mixing is complete, take the BeaterBlade off the mixer and it will double as a spatula for your final stir.

Product Description
The Original BeaterBlade from New Metro Design is always made in the USA. The Original BeaterBlade replaces the flat beater that comes with most stand mixers. The patented Wing-Blade technology virtually eliminates the need for hand-scraping the bowl and pushes ingredients down to the dimple, in the bottom of the bowl, thoroughly combining all ingredients, 50% faster. To achieve a fluffy, aerated mixture (think creamed butter and sugar), beat at a higher speed. To achieve a smooth, thick mixture (think cheese cake), beat at lower speed. Use the BeaterBlade as a hand-held spatula to transfer every bit of batter into the pan. KA-5L BeaterBlades are compatible with most KitchenAid 5 Quart Bowl-Lift stand mixers, however it does NOT work with a 5 Quart glass bowl or the Professional 5-Plus mixer. Do not operate BeaterBlade in an empty mixing bowl. The Original BeaterBlade is always made in the USA, the frame is made from high impact plastic and the flexible plastic blades are free of rubber, silicone and Teflon. Dishwasher safe for convenience and quick clean up!

"...Like all things Kitchenaid, these are not universally interchangeable across different sized bowls." Read more

"Actually scrapes the bowl and fits the attachment pin well. We bake often and have used up a few. always order the same." Read more
"...sturdy enough, but it does make me a bit nervous to have such loose tolerances in such a strong mechanical device (my KA has the 1hp DC motor)...." Read more
Customers are disappointed with the material of the kitchen beater. They mention that the paddle is made of hard plastic, the central white part is plastic, and the attachment is plastic rather than metal. Some say that the product feels cheap at first, but they like how light it is.
"The first thing I noticed was that the beater was plastic, not metal like the actual Kitchaid ones...." Read more
"...The fact that there is no metal core, but instead the *whole* unit is hard plastic, only adds to my concerns...." Read more
"...At first it felt cheap, but now I like how light it is and the fact it makes less noise (rattling around when stored in the bowl)...." Read more
"...I had serious doubts when it arrived and I saw the paddle was made out of hard plastic but decided to use it tonight to make the cookie dough for..." Read more

Responding to some other comments: I don't find the beater blade harder to clean than the KA paddle--I use a small pointed-tip silicone spatula to run over all the surfaces and that does the job. I've never had batter get into the central shaft of the thing. About the only annoyance is the loud squeaking of the blade against the bowl as it gets started, but if the first step involved butter or some other fat, I wipe a little over the blades to lubricate things and that solves the problem.
I guess I'll buy another one--I would have loved for it to last as long as the metal beaters that KA makes, but I think I got my money's worth from it nonetheless.
The new one works as well as the old one. The rubber blade does a great job of wiping the sides of the bowl - much better than the original metal blade that came with my Kitchenaid. Note that the rubber-edged blade is a little harder to clean than the plain metal beater blade, but its performance is worth the minor extra effort to clean.
Just make sure to order the blade that matches your mixer. Like all things Kitchenaid, these are not universally interchangeable across different sized bowls.

Die Verarbeitung ist gut.
Leider besteht es aus Kunststoff und nicht aus Edelstahl was optimaler wäre.
